Re: What does "forgiving during a fire" mean?

Although you have given us the context (fire-fighting foams), it is impossible to work out the meaning of a fragment without knowing the whole sentence. Please give us the entire sentence in which "forgiving during a fire" appears.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
